Foreigner will finally know what Rock & Roll Hall of Fame love is. Driving the news: The band behind some of the 1980s' biggest rock hits will perform at Blossom Music Center with co-headliner Styx on Wednesday night.
• Foreigner will also be inducted into the Rock Hall during a ceremony at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Oct. 19.
The intrigue: Foreigner earned its first nomination for the Rock Hall this year despite being eligible since 2003.
